As  soon  as  the  principal  gateway  to  the  Exposition  from  the  city  is  passed  \he  dominating  feature  of  the  architecture,  the  Tower  of 
Jewels,  which  rears  itself  skyward  for  almost  half  a  thousand  feet,  is  confronted.  Before  it  a  great  garden  3000  feet  in  length  stretches,  flanked 
on  the  west  by  the  noble  glass  domed  Horticultural  Building  and  on  the  right  by  Festival  Hall,  a  towering,  graceful  pile  standing  aloof  from

AN   EXPOSITION  AUDIENCE 

The  scene  represents  a  great  concourse  of  people  gathered  upon  the  Plaza  in  the  South  Gardens.  It  indicates  the  loyal  spirit  of  the  people 
of  California  towards  the  Exposition,  which  is  exhibited  upon  all  important  occasions.  The  Main  entrance  is  seen  beyond  the  Fountain  of 
Energy.  The  great  south  hedge  enclosing  the  Exposition  grounds  and  the  Main  entrance  are  clothed  with  a  mass  of  flowery  moss.  The  hedges 
are  twenty  feet  high,  eight  feet  wide,  and  are  watered  by  a  novel  irrigation  system.

THE  SOUTH  GARDENS  FROM  THE  PALACE  OF  HORTICULTURE 

This  beautiful  scene,  showing  Festival  Hall,  the  Italian  towers  at  the  entrance  to  the  Court  of  Flowers,  and  other  beautiful  features,  pictures 
the  principal  garden  on  the  Exposition  grounds.  On  the  left  are  the  Palaces  of  Manufactures  and  Varied  Industries  facing  upon  Palm  Avenue. 
The  South  Garden  is  just  within  the  Main  entrance. 


MRS.  F.  G.  SANBORN.  President. 


MRS.   PHOEBE  A.     HEARST.  Honorary  President. 


THE  WOMANS'  BOARD 


MRS.  GAILLARD  STONEY,  Secretary. 


To  the  general  public  the  visible  work  of  the  Woman's  Board, 
during  the  Exposition  period,  will  be  the  dispensing  of  hospitality  at 
the  California  Building,  and  in  connection  with  the  women  of  the 
State,  presiding  over  and  conducting  the  social  functions  which  are  a 
part  of  the  life  of  expositions.  A  large  section  of  the  State  building 
has  been  designed  for  these  social  purposes  and  will  be  open  at  all 
times  for  the  care  and  entertainment  of  the  people — guests  of  the 
Hostess  State  and  its  citizens.  While  the  preliminary  work  of  the 
Board  has  been  most  useful  and  brilliantly  successful,  it  is  at  great 
gatherings  of  distinguished  people  that  women  by  tact,  cultivated  taste 
and  courtesy  become  leaders  in  the  important  duties  of  hospitality. 

During  the  period  of  the  building  of  the  Exposition  the  Woman's 
Board  has  helped  mould  public  opinion,  and  worked  successfully 
through  various  agencies,  among  these  by  auxiliary  branches  through 
the  Counties  of  the  State.  With  the  co-operation  of  other  agencies 
it  will  assist  in  the  care  and  guidance  of  visitors  and  will  be  especially 
helpful  to  women.  The  personnel  of  the  Woman's  Board  is: 

Honorary  president,  Mrs.  Hearst;  president,  Mrs.  Sanborn;  first 
vice-president,  Mrs.  Lovell  White;  second  vice-president,  Mrs.  I.  Low- 
enberg;  third  vice-president,  Mrs.  William  Hickley  Taylor;  fourth 
vice-president,  Mrs.  John  P.  Merrill;  fifth  vice-president,  Mrs.  Frank 


L.  Brown;  sixth  vice-president,  Mrs.  Ernest  S.  Simpson;  secretary, 
Mrs.  Gaillard  Stoney;  treasurer,  Mrs.  Philip  E.  Bowles;  assistant 
treasurer,  Mrs.  Edwin  R.  Dimond;  auditor,  Mrs.  Charles  W.  Slack; 
other  directors,  Mrs.  Edson  F.  Adams,  Mrs.  Frank  B.  Anderson,  Dr.

McKinstry,  Mrs.  Robert  Oxnard,  Mrs.  Horace  D.  Pillsbury,  Mrs.  George 
A.  Pope,  Mrs.  Henry  T.  Scott,  Mrs.  Laurance  I.  Scott,  Mrs.  William  T 
Sesnon,  Mrs.  M.  C.  Sloss,  Mrs.  William  S.  Tevis,  Mrs.  E.  C.  Wright: 
active  associate  directors,  Mrs.  George  B.  Sperry,  Mrs.  Alexander 
Russell,  Mrs.  C.  S.  Stanton,  Miss  Janet  Peck,  Mrs.  George  Hough 
Perry,  Mrs.  Mary  Austin,  Mrs.  William  Kent,  Mrs.  William  Grunt, 
Mrs.  Herbert  A.  Hoover,  Mrs.  Minnie  Sabin  Cooper. 

The  honorary  members  include  Mrs.  Hiram  Johnson,  wife  of  the 
Governor  of  California;  Mrs.  James  Rolph,  Jr.,  wife  of  the  Mayor  of 
San  Francisco;  Mrs.  Franklin  Lane,  wife  of  the  Secretary  of  the 
Interior,  Mrs.  Julius  Kahn,  wife  of  Congressman  Kahn,  and  the  wives 
of  all  other  California  representatives. 


THE  TOWER  OF  JEWELS  ILLUMINATED 

All  previous  schemes  of  illumination  are  strikingly  departed  from  by  the  Exposition  in  the  employ  of  what  is  termed  the  indirect  or  masked 
system  of  lighting.  The  advantages  of  this  system  lie  in  the  variety  of  effects  to  which  it  lends  itself.  It  is  this  masked  system  of  lighting  that 
lends  such  a  wonderful  view  to  the  435-foot  Tower  of  Jewels  with  its  125,000  swinging  jewels  and  makes  its  beauty  iridescent. 


THE  UNIVERSAL  EXPOSITION  OF  1915  AT  SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Panama-Pacific  International  Exposition  celebrates  the  com- 
pletion of  that  epochal  achievement  the  Panama  Canal,  by  which  two 
continents  are  severed  that  the  entire  world  may  be  brought  into 
closer  contact.  It  celebrates  also  the  achievements  of  mankind  during 
the  decade  preceding  the  year  1915,  shows  the  great  progress  that  has 
been  made  in  every  branch  of  human  endeavor  and  depicts  the 
present  capabilities  of  the  human  race. 

The  Exposition  means  the  cementing  of  existing  and  the  making 
of  new  international  friendships.  It  tells  a  story  to  those  from  a  foreign 
clime  and  brings  to  us  of  the  Western  Hemisphere  a  more  complete 
understanding  of  the  peoples  of  the  World. 

'Neath  the  grim  armament  of  the  Presidio,  whose  guns  guard  the 
Golden  Gate,  nestles  the  Exposition,  from  which  across  the  water  may 
be  seen,  to  the  north,  the  frowning  sides  of  Mt.  Tamalpais,  the  isles 
which  dot  the  land-locked  sea,  and  the  hills  that  guard  San  Pablo  Bay. 
In  the  immediate  east,  the  south  and  the  west  lies  San  Francisco,  the 
"Hostess  City." 

The  Exposition  grounds,  containing  635  acres,  are  in  a  natural 
amphitheatre  overlooking  San  Francisco  Bay.  The  grounds  extend 
something  over  two  miles  along  the  water  front,  affording  unob- 
structed view  of  naval  pageants  and  other  aquatic  features.  At  the 
various  land  entrances  are  ample  stations  where  cars,  automobiles 
and  other  transportation  service  may  discharge  passengers  so  that 
they  may  reach  any  desired  point  quickly.  On  the  water  front,  facing 
the  Marina,  are  slips  where  steamers,  launches  and  ferry  boats  may 
dock.  Inside  the  grounds  a  railway  extends  from  end  to  end  of  the 
Marina,  affording  visitors  a  comprehensive  view  of  the  Exposition  and 
of  the  scenic  attractions  which  surround  it.  Automobile  chairs,  jinrik- 
shas,  bicycle  and  push  chairs  are  available  for  use  of  visitors. 

The  magnificent  structures  which  house  the  evidences  of  the 
world's  progress  are  the  highest  combination  of  the  designer's  art  and 
the  skillful  labor  of  the  artisan.  They  rise  majestic  in  their  grandeur; 
their  capacity  is  enormous,  and  their  sculptural  decorations  are  sym- 
bolic of  the  exhibits  they  contain. 

These  exhibits  are  divided  into  eleven  groups:  Fine  Arts; 
Education  and  Social  Economy;  Liberal  Arts;  Manufactures,  Varied 
Industries;  Machinery;  Transportation;  Agriculture;  Live  Stock; 
Horticulture,  and  Mines  and  Metallurgy. 

THE  LANDSCAPE  AND  FLORAL  SCHEME 

At  no  exposition  yet  held  in  this  country  has  there  been  so  elab- 
orate and  extensive  a  floral  display  as  shown  at  this  exposition.  The 
work  has  been  done  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  John  McLaren,  the 
Superintendent  of  Golden  Gate  Park  of  San  Francisco,  who  is  recog- 
nized throughout  Europe  and  America  as  one  of  the  highest  authori- 
ties in  this  profession.  The  main  avenues  are  featured  with  large 


specimen  trees  and  palms.  Against  the  great  Exhibit  Palaces  have 
been  planted  cypress,  spruce,  eucalyptus,  fir  and  other  species,  from 
twenty  to  thirty  feet  high.  Next  these  are  trees  and  shrubbery  of 
lesser  height,  and  again  these  are  banked  with  flowers  of  brilliant 
hue,  to  be  changed  with  the  seasons  of  the  year,  giving  a  color  blend- 
ing of  most  enchanting  beauty  wherever  the  eye  may  rest. 

Over  2,200  fuschia  trees  and  six  thousand  hydrangeas  and  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  of  other  bright  colored  flowering  plants  have  been 
used  upon  the  grounds  to  add  brilliancy  to  the  colors,  which  are  all  in 
contrast  to  the  rich,  restful  green  of  lawn  and  shrubbery. 

The  many  driveways  and  courts  have  diversified  treatment  accord- 
ing to  their  location  and  measure  of  sunlight  and  shade,  all  causing  a 
harmonious  whole. 

THE  LIGHTING  OF  THE,:EXPOS1TION 

The  method  of  lighting  employed  on  the  exposition  grounds  is 
known  as  the  "indirect";  the  walls  of  the  exhibit  palaces  being 
flooded  by  the  light  from  great  arcs,  in  front  of  which  have  been 
placed  handsome  brass  shields,  thus  shading  the  eyes  of  the  specta- 
tors while  giving  a  complete  and  restful  illumination. 

The  domes  of  the  buildings  are  flooded  with  light  from  powerful 
searchlights  and  as  their  rays  fall  upon  the  "jewels"  of  hand-cut 
crystal,  the  effect  reminds  one  of  Fairyland. 

THE  NORTH  GARDEN 

For  nearly  a  mile  along  the  bay  frontage  stretches  the  North 
Garden.  This  is  separated  from  the  palaces  by  the  broad  paved  Es- 
planade. The  spacious  Yacht  Harbor  is  almost  in  the  center.  Sur- 
rounding the  Yacht  Harbor  is  an  Italian  ballustrade  on  which  are 
erected  decorative  light  standards. 

THE  SOUTH  GARDEN 

The  South  Gardens,  embracing  the  entire  territory  between  the 
Horticultural  Building  and  Festival  Hall,  will  be  maintained  as  a 
French  garden,  containing  three  large  pools  and  ornamented  with 
numerous  small  fountains,  balustrades  and  beds  of  color.  All  of  these 
beds  will  be  planted  in  one  color;  at  the  opening  of  the  Exposition 
the  entire  area  of  beds  will  be  a  blaze  of  yellow  daffodils,  with  a 

groundwork  of  yellow  pansies  to  be  followed  by  red  tulips,  after  which 
a  planting  of  begonia  will  carry  the  color  scheme  through  until  the 
close  of  the  Exposition.  Each  planting  will  be  of  200,000  plants  of 
each  variety. 

THE  COURTS  OF  THE  EXPOSITION 

The  main  central  court  or  Court  of  the  Universe  is  distinguished 
by  a  formal  setting  of  shrubbery  in  the  center  of  which  is  a  large 
sunken  garden.  Myrtle  hedges,  pillar  roses  and  climbing  plants  are 


THE  PALACE  OF  FINE  ARTS 

The  exterior  of  the  Palace  of  Fine  Arts  is  entirely  unlike  the  Fine  Arts  building  at  any  previous  Exposition.    It  is  the  arc  of  a  circle,  with  an 
outer  length  of  1100  feet    having  a  colonnaded  front,  and  a  central  rotunda  162  feet  high.    The  construction  is  steel  and  concrete— fireproof.    Ihc 
exhibits  consist  of  the  best  productions  of  foreign  and  American  artists.    Not  only  paintings  and  sculpture,  but  tapestries,  jewelry,  and  mosaics, 
inlays,  carvings,  and  fabrics  such  as  laces  and  rugs,  are  exhibited.    The  grouping  of  sculpture  in  the  rotunda  and  the  colonnad. 
attractive. 


freely  used  in  the  adornment  of  this  court.  In  the  Court  of  Abundance 
may  be  seen  among  other  things  100  orange  trees  in  bearing.  Great 
magnolias,  formal  Italian  Cypress,  spring  flowering  bulbs  and  annuals, 
are,  in  their  turn,  used  to  beautify.  In  the  Court  of  Palms  are  different 
varieties  of  palms  and  a  collection  of  sweet  smelling  shrubs  such  as 
myrtle,  breath  of  heaven,  lavender,  lemon  verbena,  and  rosemary.  The 
Court  of  Flowers,  as  the  name  denotes,  will  be  a  showing  of  brilliant 
hufid  flowers  in  great  variety.  The  Court  of  the  Pour  Seasons  is  laid 
out  to  illustrate  the  various  phases  of  the  four  seasons,  among  other 
things  containing  four  great  colonnaded  niches  wherein  are  placed 
groups  of  statuary  representing  respectively  Spring,  Summer,  Autumn 
and  Winter. 

THE  PREDOMINATING  COLOR  SCHEME 

The  color  and  decorative  features  of  the  Exposition  are  under  the 
direction  of  Mr.  Jules  Guerin.  The  palaces  are  shaded  in  a  neutral 
tint — smoked  ivory.  The  portals,  colonnades  and  groupings  of  archi- 
tectural features  are  masses  in  reds,  blues,  greens,  and  gold. 

FOREIGN  COUNTRIES  PARTICIPATING 

The  following  foreign  countries  have  officially  accepted  the  invita- 
tion of  the  United  States  Government  to  participate  in  the  Panama- 
Pacific  International  Exposition: 

Guatemala,  Haiti,  Salvador,  Dominican  Republic,  Honduras,  Pan- 
ama, Mexico,  I-eru,  Costa  Rica,  Bolivia,  Japan,  Ecuador,  Uruguay, 
Canada,  Liberia,  Prance,  Nicaragua,  Cuba,  China,  Portugal,  Sweden, 
Netherlands,  Argentine,  Denmark,  Chile,  Brazil,  Venezuela,  Persia, 
Paraguay,  New  Zealand,  Turkey,  Australia,  Italy,  Siam,  Greece,  Aus- 
tria, Switzerland,  Norway,  Monaco,  Bulgaria,  Servia. 

Some  important  foreign  countries  failing  to  send  official  or  govern- 
mental representations,  will  be  represented  by  great  exhibits  gathered 
by  subscriptions  among  the  peoples  of  those  countries,  notably  Eng- 
land and  Germany.  The  Pavilions  of  the  Foreign  Countries  are 
grouped  in  the  western  portion  of  the  grounds,  on  the  Marina,  opposite 
the  group  of  State  buildings. 

PARTICIPATION  BY  THE  STATES 

Forty-three  of  the  States  of  the  Union  are  participating  in  the 
life  of  the  Exposition.  Many  of  the  buildings  are  replicas  of  historic 
mansions  or  public  buildings  in  the  various  States.  The  Old  Bay 
State  has  a  reproduction  of  the  Old  Bulflnch  portion  of  the  Massachu- 
setts State  House.  Virginia,  "the  old  State,  Mother  of  Presidents," 
has  a  reproduction  of  Mt.  Vernon,  home  of  President  Washington. 
Pennsylvania's  handsome  building  will  house  the  "Old  Liberty  Bell." 
All  of  the  State  buildings  are  handsome  structures,  large  and  com- 
modious, exceedingly  creditable  to  the  States.  Many  are  palatial 
edifices. 

"  OUR  INSULAR  POSSESSIONS." 

Alaska,  Hawaii  and  the  Philippines  each  give  the  visitor  an 
opportunity  to  become  familiar  with  the  character  of  these  countries, 
their  people  and  manner  of  life. 

THE  CALIFORNIA  BUILDING 

Larger,  grander  and  more  imposing  than  any  other  structure  of 
either  Foreign  Country  or  Sister  State  is  that  of  California.  It  is 
at  the  end  of  Administration  Avenue  extending  for  seven  hundred  and 
more  feet  along  the  Marina  and  the  water  front.  It  has  large  sec- 
tions for  executive  offices,  social  and  hospitality  functions,  and  display 


purposes,  and  will  be  the  stage  for  all  stately  honors  and  ceremonials 
by  the  citizens  of  the  Hostess  City  and  State. 

THE  ZONE 

Here  are  to  be  seen  remarkable  evidences  of  the  enterprise  of  the 
business  men  of  San  Francisco.  That  no  important  feature  in  making 
a  great  international  exposition  be  omitted  the  amusement  section 
has  been  largely  built,  and  the  great  shows  made  possible  by  the 
financing  of  the  amusement  "Zone"  features  by  wealthy  business  men

facades  of  the  Palaces  of  Agriculture  and  Manufactures,  Varied  Industries,  and  Mines. 


THE  PALACE  OF  HORTICULTURE
